UP North-South Corridor Explained: New Mega Highway Network to Transform the State

After developing a strong east-west expressway network, the Uttar Pradesh government is now preparing to launch the ambitious North-South Corridor project.

Under this mega infrastructure plan worth nearly ₹31,000 crore, the Nepal border will be connected to the Madhya Pradesh border through a vast network of highways and expressways.

The corridor will stretch across more than 20 districts and cover nearly 2,340 kilometers. The project is expected to significantly improve connectivity, transportation, trade, and regional development across the state.

At present, Uttar Pradesh has the largest expressway network in India, with major projects such as the Ganga Expressway, Yamuna Expressway, Purvanchal Expressway, and Agra-Lucknow Expressway already playing a major role in boosting connectivity and economic growth.
